Heard on CNBC that they are making at Wall Street 2 with Douglas returning as Gordon Gecko. I know Douglas had mentioned it before, but I couldn't find any posts on this when I searched.

Anyone know anything else about this?

with the 20th Anniversary 2 disc set coming out in fall, will we finally see a sequel?

Tentative title: Money Never Sleeps

Tentative title: Lunch is for Wimps

I'm interested if Oliver Stone is involved.

I heard on TV a few days ago that Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas are going to be involved. No Charlie Sheen though.

I am OK without Sheen. Gordon is the man.

Wiki has this to say.
On Saturday May 5, 2007, the New York Times reported that a sequel film entitled, Money Never Sleeps, is currently in pre-production. Michael Douglas will reprise his role as Gordon Gekko; however, both Charlie Sheen and Oliver Stone will be absent from the sequel.[8]


LOS ANGELES, May 4 — Greed is still good.

Movie Details: 'Wall Street'

Or so those at 20th Century Fox hope. Even as their boss, Rupert Murdoch, pursued an uninvited takeover bid for Dow Jones this week, Fox movie executives quietly sealed a deal to revive Gordon Gekko, the suspender-loving financial prowler who made grabbing seem good in Oliver Stone’s 1987 film, “Wall Street.”

When last seen, the corrupt Gekko, an Oscar-winning role for Michael Douglas, was on the brink of surrendering his white cuffs for handcuffs, having been sold out by his protégé Bud Fox, played by Charlie Sheen.

“He went to jail,” acknowledged Edward R. Pressman, who produced the original movie and reached an agreement with Fox this week to develop a sequel in which Mr. Douglas will resume his machinations on a global scale in the hedge-fund era. Mr. Pressman declined to say more about the plot. But the title, he said, will be “Money Never Sleeps,” after one of Gekko’s guiding principles in the first film, written by Stanley Weiser and Mr. Stone.

“Wall Street” was only a modest hit when Fox released it. But it won a passionate following in the financial world, where many found something to love in the predatory Gekko. Speaking by telephone from Bermuda, Mr. Douglas said he wouldn’t mind if he never had “one more drunken Wall Street broker come up to me and say, ‘You’re the man!’ ”

Mr. Stone will not direct the sequel, although the producer said that Messrs. Pressman and Douglas and their new writer, Stephen Schiff (“True Crime”), pressed him to do so for months. Mr. Schiff, who expects to deliver a script later this year, said the Bud Fox character was likely to be missing as well. But a restyled Gekko, he predicted, might start setting trends all over again.

“If you weren’t wearing suspenders before ‘Wall Street,’ you were certainly wearing them after,” he said. As for moral development, don’t expect too much from a villain who taught us that lunch is for wimps, and who bragged: “I create nothing. I own.”

“I don’t think he’s much different,” Mr. Douglas said. “He’s just had more time to think about what to do.”

This movie sucked!
I watched it on dvd today.

umm yeah

cool story. brother.

Was this the only Wall Street Money Never Sleeps thread? Noone talked about it here? The last comment was from almost 4 years ago before the movie was even filmed.

/\ There is another one floating around, but much like wmlopez, I'm not going to search too hard for it.

Funny, actually finished watching this last night. Kept thinking through it, "This was not necessary to make."

Huge disappointment. Probably my biggest cinema letdown of 2010.

If they stuck with the story line of Geko gets out of prison and we get to see how he goes back on top you would have had a better movie.

Wall Street 2 wasn't that bad, compared to other things that came out last year. It was far better than Winter's Bone, IMO!!!

A friend of mine who reviews films in L.A. swore up and down that this was the best film of the year and that Michael Douglas would be the first actor in history to win Oscars for playing the same role in two separate films. Turns out it didn't get even a single nom.

Overall, I liked it. However, that pie-in-the-sky happy ending was absolute bullshit.

Shia's character should not have been in the movie.
I know they did that for box-office appeal which how well did that work.

I'm assuming the ending was leaving it open for a part 3... but with Douglas' current health, I doubt (or want) it will happen.

If he'd brought giant robots and Megan Fox with him, it would have been a much better movie.
